Considering some of the things that end up in health drinks barley can't even get me to raise an eyebrow. Alton's Barley Water is basically barley lemonade. Hulled barley, lemon juice/peel, & honey in water. I don't know how healthy it actually is, but it is pretty good (unlike some of the green juices I've tried). Lemony with some depth from the barley.

Will It Get Made Again? This is the second time I've made this. I wouldn't hesitate to make it a third time.
I keep seeing barley water mentioned in Heyer's Regency romances, as food for invalids. Does the barley remain in the water, or is this water in which barley was cooked?
ReplyDeleteThe barley is strained out at the end, so you're just drinking the water.
